Like most of the Hrishi Da films, Kisise Na Kehna is a sweet romantic comedy woven around a family with middle class values and a big lie to thwart some orthodox belief. It attempts to break stereotypes just like Chupke Chupke, Gol Maal and Naram Garam. Film casts Farooq Sheikh and Deepti Naval in typical reluctant romantic couple, Saeed Jaffrey and quintessential Utpal Dutt.
Dutt who plays an old school retired person is disappointed by the education system which has spoiled the upbringing of the new generation. He is not able to adjust to rebellious and outspoken new world. He wants to protect his son Ramesh played by Sheikh by finding an uneducated daughter-in-law. Sheikh finds his soulmate in Ramola played by Naval. Ramola is a doctor by profession.
When Dutt's obsession with search for uneducated bride becomes unreasonable and Ramesh is not able to express his desire to his father, Saeed Jaffrey who plays Dutt's friend Lalaji devices a plot.
Kisise Na Kehna establishes old school ideology without being whimsical or illogical. Family values are immune to educational influences and westernization is not a threat - Hrishi Da strongly makes his point.
